MEMORANDUM

Posted: November 21, 2013 09:03 AM
From: Representative Stephen Bloom
To: All House members
Subject: Prevailing Wage Uniformity & Fairness
 
In light of the long-overdue pending increase in the prevailing wage threshold on transportation projects, in the near future I will be introducing legislation to ensure uniformity and fairness with respect to all other taxpayer-funded projects currently subject to the Prevailing Wage Law. Under my bill, the prevailing wage threshold will be raised from $25,000 to $100,000 on any projects not already covered by the historic threshold increase embodied in the HB 1060 transportation bill.

Raising the prevailing wage threshold in a fair and uniform manner for all covered projects will avoid the unnecessary administrative complexity and expense imposed by a new two-tiered threshold, while allowing school districts and municipal entities (and the property tax payers who fund them) to avail themselves of substantial savings and efficiency. Please join me in co-sponsoring this legislation to restore prevailing wage uniformity and fairness.

Introduced as HB1915
